I've recently picked up the Pathfinder Rulebook and last week, the Advanced Racial guide; this was basically so I could learn more about 3.5 without all the broken extra's and the Racial guide allowed for tonnes of rules and the ability to make your own race based on a relatively fair construct system of "RP". Elves for example, are 10. Dwarves 11. Based on the system's point management.

 

With you guys no longer churning out 4th edition books, it would be nice before 5th (or next, as you guys want to call it) edition is in full swing and published, that you throw in all feats and rules missing from the character editor. Bugs fixed as well, like certain resists not showing up on the sheet and all the other little side things that are well known and need doing.

 

But onto my main attraction of the Racial creator; it's amazing. I would love to be able to create a race (within a set rule system; or at the very least, have limiters and recommended RP attached - with the 45 current races in there by default so we can gage it) and then save it. Open up the character editor whilst logged into my account and find any races I've made in the droplist as a custom option. I find the editors sheets very easy to read, saves hours of potential fiddling and colour coded power sheets. Perfect.

 

Bump it all together, I know I'll happily continue forking out a sub for such a thing; even when 5th comes out with their own (I hope) character editors and rules lists with all required reading attached in a nice searchable list.

 

For those curious, you can easily get PDF's of the Race builder book, it's definately worth a glance, as it has huge potential to be a fun and creative tool for those who want to apply a custom race to the character editor and print it all out in one sheet; otherwise you're stuck with the tried and tested tools of pencil and paper. Which sometimes, you don't have time to do too neatly!

 

I feel it would be a fun addition, if nothing else, to something that will soon be on the Archive shelves with the other editions and I feel a tool like this will give the product a nice little parting gift from Wizards.

Your plea's fall upon deaf ears. Wizards gave up on this forum years ago, as well as any intention of adding or fixing their character builder.
